All-Star Families,

It was great to see so many of you at our Family Literacy Night last week. What a joy to see students, families, and staff come together to celebrate reading. This event was funded through our federal Title I budget.

Due to our Title I status, we are fortunate to receive additional staffing to support academic growth. Susan Pfeifer, our literacy coach, works with teachers on instructional practices as well as lesson design and delivery. She also leads much of our literacy professional development. Laurie Steadman, our literacy interventionist, provides additional small group reading instruction for qualifying students needing extra support. This year she has focused on second grade.

Another member of our literacy team is Ayuko Momono, our English Language Development (ELD) teacher. She supports our growing number of multi-language learners with extra small group language support. Our diverse student population allows us all to learn from each other and explore different languages, cultures, traditions, and perspectives.

Thanks to the families who joined us Thursday night for our Building Bridges to Beloved Community family session. We invite you to join us for the family/staff session on Thursday, March 28^th from 5:00-6:45. We will end our evening with a shared meal. Free childcare provided. You can register using the QR code on the flyer that follows.

As always, thanks for your sharing your greatest gift with us…your child!
